"Ok, we have got the red, black, and blue paint cans, a picture of the Chicago Cubs logo and four paint bushes for the four for us." AJ listing out all the supplies they brought for painting the extra room in their house. AJ thought it is about time it is going to be use
"Sweetie, can you come here for a moment?"
Lily going to her mother from her bedroom
"Yea mom, what's up?"
"Lily, remember Uncle Colt, Uncle John, and Auntie Amy will come here to help me paint the extra empty room upstairs. "
"Yes, I remember mommy."
"While Auntie Kaitlyn will be watching over you while we are busy."
"Do I really need her to look after me? I'm a big girl now."
"I know you're a big girl. You are almost six with being a month before your birthday. Auntie Kaitlyn is just here if you are bored while we are still painting, ok."
"Ok, but mommy since it's a month before my birthday, can I have it at a park and then go to the Chicago Zoo afterwards?"
"I don't know. We'll have to talk with daddy and discuss what we are doing for your special day."
"No problem mommy. Of course I don't want to leave him out of the plans."
"Ok, go back to what you are doing and clean up your room a little before they get here, ok baby."
"Ok mommy." AJ kissing her on the cheek and Lily goes to her room
AJ starts bringing the paint cans and the other supplies upstairs to the room. After that she starts opening the cans when the doorbell rings.
"Honey, can you check who that is for me?"
"Ok mommy." She starts running downstairs and getting her little step ladder to see who it is
"Mommy, it is Uncle John. Can I open the door?"
"Lily can you please open the door? This is heavy?" John asking through the door while carrying a ladder and a box of supplies for the room
"I can't Uncle John. Mom and daddy always says to wait for her or daddy to be with me before opening the door, sorry."
"Even though, I have a present for you."
Lily pondering a bit before opening the door
"OK." Opening the door, but when she does AJ just appearing downstairs
"Lily! Didn't daddy and I tell you to not open the door until either of us is present? Hmmm." AJ raising her voice
"Well yea, but mommy, Uncle John says he has a present for me."
"Ahhh." Helping John with the box he is carrying, while he is putting the ladder down "You, you, you tricking my lovely daughter into disobeying us just because you have a gift for her. You know she loves getting gifts, just like her father." AJ poking his chest with every word
"Oww, you know how much that is hurting me. There are going to be little bruises where you poke me now." John rubbing his chest
"Well, that's what you get for tricking her."
Lily just watching and laughing a little to the scene in front of her after closing the door "So, I don't have a present?"
"Sorry Lily, I don't one for you."
After a few moments, Colt and Amy come to the door. Lily again looking through the peep hole
"Mommy, I don't think we should let these people in."
"Why, who are they?"
"They are strangers. You always say not to open the door for strangers, even though, they have gifts." Lily giving a look to John, while John just whistling his way upstairs to the room
AJ goes to the door to see who it is
"Honey, this..." AJ pausing and looking at Lily, she is going to play along "Yup, your right honey, they are strangers
"Hey, what's taking so long? April come on let us in." Colt asking through the door
"John, can you come here? I think we have strangers at the door?"
"Ok coming." John starts coming downstairs and looking through the peep hole
"Wait, they are not..." John sensing the game they are playing. He opens the door while Lily and AJ standing closely next to him
"Finally, that took forever. What the f..." Lita nudging him before continuing
"Language Colt. Remember not in front of short-stuff."
"Right, but what took so long."
Lily going closer to them "Mommy and daddy always say don't open the door for strangers."
Colt and Lita are shocked, putting a hand on their hearts
"How could you April? I thought we are closer than that." Colt saying
They all burst out laughing, while Colt and Lita having puzzling looks
"Of course, I know who you are Uncle Colt and Auntie Lita. We are just playing with you."
"What? You little monster, I'm going to get you for that. Making fun of your Uncle Colt just like your daddy does." He starts chasing Lily around the living room
"Well, he nicknames me Punkette for a reason. You didn't catch on the connection yet, Uncle Scott." While Lily is running away from him
Everyone else standing there in shock when she called Colt by his given name, Lily running to her mother after seeing Colt's face
"April move out of the way. I'm going to teach her a lesson."
"No, you can't." Stepping in front of Lily to protect her from Colt
"Why not, she needs to know."
"Because she's sorry. Isn't that right, sweetie? Say sorry to Uncle Colt. Come on, say sorry." AJ pushing Lily towards Colt
"I'm sorry, Uncle Colt. I was just making a small joke. I didn't mean for you to get mad at me. Please forgive me." Lily starts pouting and making the most adorable sad face ever. Lita starts nudging him to forgive her.
Colt starts pondering and then looks at her "Fine, ok I forgive you. You know you have the knowledge of making someone fell really bad. It's not fair. I blame both of your parents."
"Hey!" AJ crossing her arms
Finally Kaitlyn arrives and they start painting the room while Kaitlyn is keeping Lily busy
"So, does Punk know that we are painting the room with Cubs colours?"
John asking AJ while dripping his paint brush in the blue paint
"No, he just knows that the baby is a boy. He is very anxious and excited that he has a mini him around here."
"Great. Another one." Colt just mumbling to himself
"What is that Colt?" AJ questioning
"All I'm saying is that Lily is a girl version of Punk and now we are going to have a mini boy Punk too. It's not fair."
"Well, you have to deal with it Colt. On the bright side, he could be a bigger momma's boy than a mini Punk."
"Let's hope for that."
They all laugh
After a few hours, Kaitlyn taking over AJ after a half an hour into painting, realizing that the paint fumes will affect the baby. They are finally done painting and putting the supplies John brought away from the walls
"AJ, come over here and see the finished room."
AJ coming in the room with Lily, both covering their mouth with their hands
"Daddy is going to love it."
AJ tearing up a little "It is beautiful, Lily is right he will love it. Thanks guys."
An hour later Punk arrives home
"AJ, Lily I'm home." Punk calling out
Lily running up to Punk like she always does when he comes home
"Hey Punkette, did you have fun today?" He picks her up and hugging her
"Yup, Auntie Kaitlyn, Auntie Lita, Uncle Colt, and Uncle John came over and helped mommy with painting the room."
"AJ helped, she is not supposed to, the fumes." Punk getting worry
"Don't worry daddy, Auntie Kaitlyn step in after half an hour."
"Good. Are they still here?"
Before Lily can answer, Colt, Lita, Kaitlyn, and AJ coming downstairs to say hi to Punk
"Hey, guys. Thanks for helping AJ here with the painting."
"No problem. We will always help our big short-stuff over here." Lita saying to Punk
"Babe, you have to check out the room. You are going to love it." Kissing him on the lips and hugging him
"Ok, let's check it out." Putting an arm around AJ
When Punk saw the room, he is speechless. The shorter sides of the wall are red, while the long sides are black, but one of the black wall having the Chicago Cubs logo on it
"Babe, don't you love it? "AJ asking because Punk is still saying nothing
Punk putting Lily down
"I do. I love it, just like you said." Kissing on her on the lips "And I tend to repay you for it later." Punk whispering in her ear
After a few moments, they say goodbye to their friends while they are leaving and also thank them again for the room. After they left, they both put Lily asleep and went to their bedroom for some rest and relaxation
